Geophysics & Environment

Geophysical measurements are used to investigate the subsurface for different practical applications, ranging from the exploration of mineral deposits and mapping of the subsurface structures to the investigation of landfills and pollution. Geophysical methods are also used for imaging subsurface archaeological sites. Likewise, environmental problems can be solved with geophysical measurements. Geophysical investigations are non-destructive and cost-saving. The results of investigation are optimized using various methods.

Optimized results by using various geophysical methods:

Ground-penetrating radar with varying antennas and depth penetrations

Underwater SCUBA radar

Microgravimetry

Electromagnetic measurements

Seismic measurements

Geo-electric resistivity surveys

FGM®/EFT® sensor technology

Range of Applications:

Non-invasive investigation of the geological-lithological situation in the underground, e.g. geological structures, the thickness of the various layers, etc.

Localization of geologically weak zones, potential landslides

Localization of cavities, cracks and soil settlement in the subsurface

Survey of aquifer layers, permeable and non-permeable horizons, groundwater horizons, and areas of water losses due to leakages

Localization of pollution in the underground

Determination of the technical state of railway embankments, dams and channels
